Overview of the program

The SBA 8(a) set aside allows contracting officers to meet agency socio-economic goals and help socially and economically disadvantaged businesses get their fair share of contracting opportunities.

• Reduced decision cycle: the time required to award an 8(a) sole source contract is usually within days.
• Lowered administrative costs: procurement process and time is reduced to a minimum.
• Prices reflecting the best value: agency negotiates with the firm directly to get the best value.
• Credit for promoting small business participation within agency.
• Can initiate a contract with a simple high-level statement of work.
